THE  STEWART  COLLECTION 


While  there,  he  attended,  two  hours  a  day,  the  drawing-school 
of  M.  Alaux.  Treated  contemptuously  by  his  fellow-students  on 
account  of  his  unaristocratic  business  connections,  Bouguereau 
nevertheless  took  the  first  prize  at  the  end  of  the  year,  the  award 
causing  such  excitement  in  the  school  that  a  riot  was  the  conse¬ 
quence.  Bouguereau  then  resolved  to  turn  his  attention  to  art,  and 
after  he  had  earned  sufficient  money  by  painting  portraits  at  Sain- 
tonge,  where  his  uncle  was  a  priest,  he  went  to  Paris  and  entered 
the  studio  of  Picot,  and  later  V fccole  des  Beaux  Arts ,  where  his 
progress  was  rapid.  He  gained  the  Prix  de  Rome  in  1850,  and 
then  studied  in  Rome.  Medals,  Paris,  1855  {Exposition  Univer-

TITIAN,  dec’d, . Venice 

Born  at  Pilve  di  Cadore,  in  1477  ;  died  in  Venice  in  1576.  Real 
name,  Tiziano  Vecelli,  or  Vecellio.  Learned  rudiments  of  painting 
at  Cadore  ;  went  to  Venice  at  the  age  of  nine  or  ten,  and  was  ap¬ 
prenticed  to  an  unknown  artist,  perhaps  Sebastian  Zuccati.  He 
was  thrown  into  daily  intercourse  with  Gentile  and  Giovanni 
Bellini,  Palma  and  Giorgione.  In  1511  he  entered  the  service 
of  Alfonso  I.,  Duke  of  Ferrara.  There  are  no  striking  incidents 
in  his  life,  which  was  one  of  unceasing  labor.  In  1530  he  went 
to  Bologna,  where  he  met  Charles  V.,  who  created  him  Count 
Palatine  and  Knight  of  the  Golden  Spur,  by  letters  patent,  be¬ 
stowed  many  high  privileges  on  him,  and,  both  then  and  after¬ 
ward,  sat  to  him  for  his  portrait.  Taken  in  their  totality,  Titian’s 
pictures  fairly  entitle  him  to  be  called  the  greatest  of  all  painters.

Paris,  March  14,  1876. 

6  Rue  de  Bruxelles. 

Dear  Mr.  Stewart: 

My  picture,  “The  Chariot  Race,”  having  been  sent  you  two  or  three 
days  ago,  I  will  add  a  few  words  on  the  subject. 

The  scene  occurs  in  the  “Circus  Maximus,”  the  grandest  monument  of 
Rome,  which  is  situated  at  the  foot  of  the  Palatine  Hill,  in  such  fashion  as 


MODERN  PAINTINGS 


59 


that  all  the  structures  erected  on  the  hill  were  contiguous  to  the  Circus, 
thus  giving  a  picturesque  and  imposing  aspect  to  the  whole. 

The  rectangular  edifice  at  nearly  the  center  of  the  picture  is  the  “  Septi- 
zonium,”  a  seven-story  building,  as  its  name  indicates  ;  the  object  of  which 
has  never  been  known.  There  was  another  story  in  the  time  of  Pope  Sex¬ 
tus  V.,  and  during  that  era  there  was  an  engraving  made  of  it,  which  we 
now  possess,  and  which  is  of  very  great  service  in  the  restoration  of  the 
building. 

In  the  upper  part  are  the  surrounding  walls  of  the  Palace  of  the  Caesars  ; 
a  little  further  to  the  left  is  the  residence  of  Augustus  and  the  theater  of  that 
Emperor.  From  there,  by  a  subterranean  passage,  he  was  able  to  reach 
his  box,  where  the  statue  of  Rome  was  located. 

This  restoration  has  been  made  in  accordance  with  a  plan  of  Ancient 
Rome,  which  was  engraved  on  the  stone  pavement  of  a  temple,  and  which 
has  been  conveyed  to  the  Capitol ;  accordingly,  there  is  an  absolute  fidelity 
both  as  to  the  location  of  the  different  monuments,  and  also,  which  is 
equally  important,  in  regard  to  the  dimensions,  for  it  must  be  understood 
that  the  Circus  would  hold  150,000  spectators. 

The  Romans  were  passionately  fond  of  the  races  ;  and  the  Circus  had 
become  just  as  much  of  a  necessity  to  the  multitude  as  food.  One  might 
well  inscribe  on  this  picture,  as  its  epigraph,  the  verses  of  Horace: 


“  There  are  who  joy  them  in  the  Olympic  strife 
And  love  the  dust  they  gather  in  the  course  ; 

The  goal  by  hot  wheels  shunn’d,  the  famous  prize, 
Exalt  them  to  the  gods  that  rule  mankind.” 


These,  my  dear  sir,  are  the  details  as  concisely  as  I  can  give  them,  to 
which  I  add  the  assurances  of  my  cordial  regard  and  best  wishes. 

J.  L.  Ger6me.

Thusnelda  at  the  Triumphal  Entry  of 
Germanicus  into  Rome 

78  X  54 

KARL  THEODOR  VON  PILOTY,  .  Munich 


Painted  to  order  for  the  late  A.  T.  Stewart,  Esq.  At  the  request  of  Em¬ 
peror  William  was  exhibited  in  Berlin  before  being  sent  to  this  country. 
The  large  painting  now  in  the  Munich  Gallery  was  painted  subsequent 
to  the  above. 

The  following  description  is  by  the  painter,  Piloty  : 

The  Emperor  Tiberius,  surrounded  by  his  Courtiers  (Favorites,  Coun¬ 
cilors,  Lictors,  Senators,  and  Roman  Women),  has  taken  his  place  upon  a 
tribune  under  a  spread  canopy,  in  order  that  the  triumphal  procession  of 
Germanicus  may  pass  before  him. 


AJO  -  £7 


MODERN  PAINTINGS

Germanicus  appears  in  the  background  upon  a  triumphal  car,  accom¬ 
panied  by  his  five  sons,  surrounded  by  Trophies  of  Victory,  and  is  greeted 
by  the  applause  and  acclamations  of  the  people  who  are  to  be  seen  at  the 
Arch  of  Triumph. 

In  front  of  the  car,  reaching  from  the  middle  distance  to  the  foreground 
of  the  picture,  are  the  German  Captives  being  led  in  chains.  As  princi¬ 
pal  figure  of  this  group  and  of  the  picture  walks  Thusnelda,  in  the  cos¬ 
tume  of  the  Germans,  with  her  son  Tumelicus  (a  child  of  three  years),  ac¬ 
companied  by  nurse  and  an  attendant.  Before  her  is  the  Priest  Libes, 
coupled  (chained)  together  with  Warriors,  escorted  by  Roman  Soldiers, 
who  insult  them.  Behind  Thusnelda  are  to  be  seen  her  brothers,  leaders 
of  the  Cherusker,  chained  together,  with  bears,  etc.,  etc.  The  foreground  to 
the  left  is  occupied  by  populace  of  Rome,  who  mock  and  insult  Thusnelda. 

Thusnelda,  having  been  forcibly  carried  away  from  her  husband  Ar- 
minius,  a  German  Prince,  by  her  father,  Segest,  was,  from  reasons  which 
appeared  to  him  advantageous  for  his  own  personal  interest  and  the  condi¬ 
tion  of  the  Germans,  betrayed  and  delivered  into  the  hands  of  the  Romans. 

In  the  picture  Tiberius  has  selected  Segest  to  stand  before  the  steps 
of  his  throne,  from  where  he  is  forced  to  witness  the  shame  of  his  own 
daughter ;  he  is  mocked  by  the  Senators  sitting  near  him,  as  they  point 
to  the  prisoners  below. 

Strabo  describes,  as  an  eye-witness,  this  event  ;  he,  as  well  as  Tacitus, 
although  Romans,  express  plainly  their  sympathy  for  the  devotion  and  love 
of  country  exhibited  by  Thusnelda,  whose  personality  will  ever  be  a  sub¬ 
ject  of  poetical  matter  for  an  artist. 

The  inclosed  Photograph  is  a  reproduction  of  the  first  hasty  sketch 
made  for  the  picture.  (This  Photograph  will  be  presented  to  the  purchaser 
of  Painting.)

Dear  Sir  :  I  will  not  send  any  pictures  to  the  Philadelphia  Centennial, 
and  I  would  be  very  glad  to  be  represented  at  this  exhibition  by  the  two 
pictures  you  have  by  me,  “  The  White  Mountains,”  and  the  “  Niagara,”  as 
I  consider  them  my  two  most  important  works.  I  should  be  very  much 
obliged  to  you  if  you  would  make  at  once  the  proper  application.  .  .  . 

Very  respectfully  yours,

New  York,  February  27,  1863. 


Dear  Sir  :  The  portrait  of  Alexander  von  Humboldt  this  day  delivered 
to  you  was  purchased  by  me  in  fall  of  1858,  when  partly  finished,  the  head 
and  hand  and  drapery  being  at  the  time  complete,  but  the  background 
remained  unfinished  until  1859.  The  illustrious  subject  of  the  painting 
died  on  the  6th  of  May,  1859,  at  which  time  the  picture  was  at  the  foot  of 
his  bed.  .  .  . 

At  the  suggestion  of  Humboldt,  Mount  Blanc,  at  the  left  of  the  picture, 
and  Chimborazo,  on  the  right,  were  added. 

The  picture  was  received  in  New  York  in  summer  of  1859,  and  has  ever 
since  remained  in  my  possession  and  has  never  been  copied.  The  certificate 
of  the  artist  which  accompanies  this  letter  speaks  for  itself.  .  .  . 

Yours  truly,  Wm.  Aufermann.

Portici,  October  9,  1874. 

To  Mons.  the  Baron  Davillier. 

My  Very  Dear  Friend:  I  regret  much  to  learn  that  you  have  been 
suffering,  and  that  I  have  not  been  in  Paris  to  keep  you  company,  for  if 
lacking  wit  to  amuse  you,  I  could  at  least  distract  you,  by  prattling  about 
old  curiosities.  On  the  subject  of  my  works,  I  will  speak  only  of  my  picture, 
which  is  1  meter  37  centimeters  long  by  Om  72  high.  There  are  a  good 
many  figures,  and  I  don’t  exactly  know  what  to  call  it,  as  it  is  in  some 
degree  an  epitome  of  my  summer’s  life.  Could  I  not  call  it  Villegiature — 
“  Country  Life  ”  ?  In  fact,  there  are  women  on  the  grass,  bathers  who  are 
taking  headers  into  the  waves,  the  ruins  of  an  old  castle,  the  walls  of  a 
garden,  the  entrance  into  a  village,  etc.,  etc.,  all  that  in  bright  sunlight,  not 
a  single  ray  omitted ;  everything  is  fair  and  gay,  and  how  could  it  be  other¬ 
wise  since  we  have  so  happily  passed  our  summer  ?  My  picture  is  not  yet 
finished ;  it  wants  a  month’s  work  yet.

JEAN  LOUIS  ERNEST  MEISSONIER,  Paris 

Correspondence  in  Relation  to  Meissonier’s  Great  Picture, 

“  Friedland,  1807.” 

My  Dear  Mr.  Stewart  : 

I  have  delayed  writing  you  because  my  letter  must  be  a  last  adieu  to  a 
work  of  many  years — an  act  of  final  separation. 

You  will  comprehend  why  I  wished  to  do  so  only  at  the  last  moment;  as, 
however  great  may  be  my  satisfaction  to  know  you  are  to  be  its  possessor, 
I  can  only  part  with  it  with  pain — a  picture  which  has  been  for  so  long  a 
time  the  life  and  joy  of  my  studio. 

Le  voila,  that  which  will  soon  be  in  your  possession,  be  good  enough  to 
receive  as  a  friend  ;  not  as  one  that  pleases  at  the  first  contact,  and  is  then 
soon  forgotten,  but  as  one  of  those  who,  by  intimate  acquaintance,  is  loved 
more  and  more.  Permit  me  to  believe  that  when  you  are  looking  at  this 
picture — on  which  I  have  bestowed  all  the  science  and  experience  I  have 
been  able  to  acquire  in  my  art — your  pleasure  will  constantly  grow  greater. 

-  I  have  the  conviction — which  I  do  not  express  without  a  certain  pride — 
that  the  value  of  this  work  will  increase  with  time.  What  may  or  can  be 
said  of  it  will  pass  away,  but  the  picture  will  remain,  to  be  an  honor  to  both 
of  us  ;  and  although  it  can  defend  itself,  yet,  among  the  thousands  of  per¬ 
sons  who  have  hastened  to  see  it,  many  have  done  it  injustice  with  a  certain 
malevolent  appreciation — still  I  have  the  right,  having  painted  it  with  so 
much  sincerity  of  purpose,  to  defend  and  explain  it.  Strange  as  this  may 
appear,  it  must  be  done  ;  because,  however  singular  may  be  the  fact,  some, 
I  understand,  have  not  been  pleased  to  go  and  see  it  for  themselves,  but 
have  adopted  the  unfair  judgment  of  others. 

I  did  not  intend  to  paint  a  Battle — I  wanted  to  paint  Napoleon  at  the 
zenith  of  his  glory  ;  I  wanted  to  paint  the  love,  the  adoration  of  the  soldiers 
for  the  great  Captain  in  whom  they  had  faith,  and  for  whom  they  were 
ready  to  die. 

I  previously  had  represented,  in  the  picture  “  1814,”  the  heartrending 
end  of  the  Imperial  Dream — those  men,  only  recently  intoxicated  with  glory, 
now  shown  exhausted,  and  no  longer  believing  in  their  invincible  chief. 
My  palette  then  did  not  have  colors  sad  enough  for  the  purpose — but  to-

THE  STEWART  COLLECTION 


day,  in  “Friedland,  1807,”  wishing  everything  to  appear  brilliant  at  this 
triumphant  moment,  it  seemed  to  me  I  was  unable  to  find  colors  sufficiently 
dazzling.  No  shade  should  be  upon  the  Imperial  face,  to  take  from  him  the 
epic  character  I  wished  to  give  him.  The  battle,  already  commenced,  was 
necessary  to  add  to  the  enthusiasm  of  the  soldiers,  and  make  the  subject 
stand  forth,  but  not  to  diminish  it  by  saddening  details.  All  such  shadows 
I  avoided,  and  presented  nothing  but  a  dismounted  cannon  and  some  grow¬ 
ing  wheat  which  would  never  ripen.  This  was  enough. 

The  men  and  the  Emperor  are  in  the  presence  of  each  other.  The  sol¬ 
diers  cry  to  him  that  they  are  his,  and  the  impassive  Chief,  whose  Imperial 
will  directs  the  masses  that  move  around  him,  salutes  his  devoted  army. 
He  and  they  plainly  comprehend  each  other,  and  absolute  confidence  is  ex¬ 
pressed  in  every  face. 

Such  was  the  idea  as  it  leaped  from  my  brain  at  the  first  instant  when 
I  embodied  the  picture  in  thought ;  and  which,  in  spite  of  the  long  time  I 
have  taken  to  put  it  on  canvas,  has  always  remained  with  me  so  clear  and 
plain  that  I  have  never  in  any  manner  modified  it. 

As  to  the  execution,  only  a  painter  (and  one  of  great  experience)  can 
say  what  time,  labor,  and  patience  have  been  brought  to  bear  upon  this 
work  to  produce  a  single  whole  out  of  so  many  diverse  elements.  Only 
he  can  say  how  difficult  it  is,  from  such  varied  materials,  to  put  aside  all 
those  artifices  which  so  often  are  used  in  art  to  cover  defects.  The  grow¬ 
ing  wheat  is  even  proof  of  the  difficulties  I  have  encountered  in  covering  it 
with  the  dust  which  hides  so  many  things. 

I  said  to  you,  at  the  beginning,  and  again  let  me  repeat  it,  that  I  have 
faith  in  my  work.  Time  will  consolidate  and  strengthen  it  more  and  more, 
and  I  am  also  certain  your  enlightened  love  for  art  will  protect  it,  in  case 
there  should  be  need. 

Now,  dear  sir,  let  me  close  by  offering  you  my  portrait.  You  desired  to 
have  one,  and  I  have  had  the  pleasure  of  painting  it  for  you  myself.  With 
it  I  trust  you  will  speak  of  me  more  intimately,  and  will  always  be  enabled 
to  recall  how  much  I  am 

Your  devoted  E.  Meissonier. 

POISSY,  January  27,  1876. 


New  York,  February  18,  1876. 

My  Dear  Mr.  Meissonier: 

It  gives  me  pleasure  to  acknowledge  the  safe  arrival  of  your  superb 
picture,  “Friedland,  1807,”  also  your  valued  letter,  with  the  portrait,  as  a 
souvenir  of  regard  ;  which  I  shall  always  cherish  and  prize  as  coming 
“ from  my  friend  Meissonier." 

The  grand  painting  each  day  develops  such  additional  beauty  and

interest  that  I  am  constantly  deriving  new  enjoyments  from  its  pos¬ 
session. 

As  you  remark,  the  period  of  the  picture,  and  the  battle  it  recalls,  rep¬ 
resent  the  height  of  Napoleon’s  Imperial  greatness,  when  confidence  in  his 
destiny  was  entertained  not  only  by  the  French  people,  but  by  himself.  The 
excitement  of  the  troopers,  and  the  calm  face  of  the  Emperor,  surrounded 
by  his  Marshals,  equally  calm,  and  never  dreaming  of  defeat,  are  all  faith¬ 
fully  shown  by  you. 

The  beholder  cannot  but  feel  thrilled  with  the  emotion  and  excitement 
the  picture  so  faithfully  illustrates,  and  the  memory  involuntarily  reverts 
to  a  period  when  certainly  the  glory  of  France  was  at  its  zenith,  and 
when  the  confidence  of  the  Emperor  in  his  future  was  at  its  highest 
elevation. 

The  labor  and  care,  on  your  part,  which  the  painting  exhibits  are  re¬ 
marked  by  all ;  and  I  may  add  that  the  work  is  one  upon  which  you  may 
rest  your  fame  with  perfect  confidence. 

Accept  my  sincere  thanks  for  the  fidelity  with  which  you  have  com¬ 
pleted  this  great  work,  and  especially  accept  my  thanks  for  the  souvenir  of 
your  portrait  which  accompanied  it. 

Sincerely  your  friend, 

Alex.  T.  Stewart.

by  the  late  Mr.  A.  T.  Stewart,  in  1874,  with  the  understanding  that  the

picture  was  not  finished  until  after  the  death  of  Mr.  Stewart.  When  finished 
in  1878,  M.  Bouguereau  stated  that  he  considered  the  work  his  masterpiece.

DESCRIPTION  OF  THE  PAINTING. 

“  The  painting  tells  its  own  story  so  completely  and  simply  that  it  will  be 
sufficient  to  indicate  its  principal  points.  In  the  center,  the  States  of  the 
Union  are  personified  by  beautiful  maidens,  grouped  around  two  hand-in- 
hand  figures,  stately  and  noble,  which  represent  the  American  Government. 
One,  in  a  white  and  flowing  robe,  is  the  Republic  ;  the  other  is  Minerva, 
so  long  associated  with  wisdom,  poetry,  art,  science,  the  manufactures  of 
domestic  life,  and,  above  all,  with  the  maintenance  of  peace,  the  basis  of  true 
national  prosperity.  They  stand,  graceful  in  their  strength,  on  a  triumphal 
car,  drawn  by  lions,  representing  the  solidity  and  sovereignty  of  the  Ameri¬ 
can  Republic.  The  motto  E  Pluribus  Unum,  which  tells  the  national 
history,  is  inscribed  upon  the  car.  In  the  distance  the  statue  of  the  Father 
of  his  Country,  first  in  peace  as  in  war,  is  visible  ;  grateful  and  loving  citi¬ 
zens,  who  surround  it,  are  bringing  wreaths  of  laurel,  to  place  on  the  pedestal 
suitable  offerings  of  remembrance  and  affection.  The  winged  messengers 
of  eternal  Fame  linger  in  their  heavenly  flight,  to  proclaim  to  earth,  air,  and 
ocean  the  glory  and  might  of  the  successful  Republic,  and  to  invite  the 
nations  to  behold  it. 

“In  the  near  center  are  the  beautiful  representatives  of  the  States  of  the 
Union — the  first  thirteen  which  adopted  the  Declaration  of  Independence 
properly  having  the  most  prominent  places  before  the  car  of  triumph.  Here 
there  is  no  distinction  of  North  and  South.  They  fought,  in  the  great 
contest  which  created  the  nation,  side  by  side,  as  they  are  here  repre¬ 
sented.  Between  the  great  States  of  New  York  and  Pennsylvania  stands  fair 
Virginia,  and,  on  the  other  side,  Massachusetts  is  posed  between  Louisiana 
and  South  Carolina,  others  being  visible  in  the  background. 

“The  accessories  are  various  and  expressive.  Here,  the  Indian  repre¬ 
sentatives  of  the  aborigines  of  the  great  continent,  “  the  stoic  of  the  woods, 
the  man  without  a  tear,”  regard  the  wondrous  scene  with  silent  amazement 
and  admiration  ;  there,  the  colored  race  rejoice  in  their  liberation  ;  over 
on  the  opposite  side,  in  fair  contrast,  while  the  sun  is  rising  on  the  consumma¬ 
tion  of  the  great  Centennial,  vessels  of  many  nations  are  bearing  hosts  of 
emigrants  to  the  land  of  freedom,  where  Industry,  Enterprise,  Education, 
with  equal  laws  and  full  religious  toleration,  unite  to  present,  as  in  a  visible 
vista,  equality,  wealth,  and  assured  social  position. 

“  The  arts  and  sciences  are  represented  by  the  implements  of  manufacture, 
mechanics,  the  arts,  and  literature,  while  fruits  and  flowers  are  the  symbols 
of  the  earth’s  abundance  ;  and,  to  complete  the  picture,  one  of  our  noblest 
rivers  quenches  the  torch  of  War,  and  the  spirits  of  the  immortal  founders 
of  the  Republic  ascend  to  join  in  the  Great  Centennial.  The  canvas  on 
which  all  of  this  is  drawn  is  22  by  35  feet,  making,  undoubtedly,  the  largest

“  The  picture  was  painted  upon  an  order  of  the  late  Alexander  T.  Stewart, 
and  was  intended  for  the  easterly  end  of  his  gallery.  Proving  too  large  for 
the  space,  it  was  not  used,  and  when  the  Grand  Union  Hotel  ball-room  was 
designed,  the  plan  adopted  included  a  panel  to  receive  this  work.”

Eugene  Aizelin . Paris 

Bom  at  Paris,  July  10,  1821.  Pupil  of  Ramey  and  Dumont,  he 
devoted  himself,  by  preference,  following  the  new  direction  which 
French  art  was  taking  at  the  time  he  entered  the  field,  to  the 
creation  of  graceful  female  subjects — women  and  maidens — 
treated  with  close  adherence  to  nature  in  the  forms.  He  has 
made,  beside,  a  few  statues  for  the  churches  of  Paris.  To  the 
former  group  of  subjects  belong  his  “  Nyssia  in  the  Bath,”  and 
a  “Psyche  with  the  Lamp”  (this  latter  in  the  Luxembourg),  a 
“Hebe,”  and  a  “Captured  Amazon”  (1875),  with  other  statues 
in  the  museums  of  Montpellier  and  Nantes  ;  also  a  statue  “  The 
Dance,”  for  the  Chatelet  Theater  (1861) ;  the  figure  of  “  Idyllic 
Poetry,”  for  the  Opera  House  at  Paris.  In  1867,  Aizelin  was 
made  a  knight  of  the  Legion  of  Honor.

A  pupil  of  Bartolini,  he  sought,  like  his  master,  to  excel  in  various

Grapes”  is  a  very  pleasing  figure,  and  his  “  Son  of  William  Tell 
after  the  Discharge  of  his  Father's  Arrow”  is  full  of  character. 
Other  of  his  works  are  “  The  Four  Seasons,”  represented  by  boy¬ 
ish  figures;  the  “Genius  of  Italy;”  and  the  “Nymph  of  the

*916  “THE  GREEK  SLAVE.” 

The  original  statue,  by 

Hiram  Powers  (deceased) . Florence 

Born  at  Woodstock,  Vermont,  July  29,  1805.  Died  in  Florence, 
Italy,  June  27,  1873. 

In  1817  his  parents  removed  to  Cincinnati,  where  he  worked  with 
energy  and  industry  at  any  mechanical  employment  that  came  to 
hand.  He  developed  remarkable  ingenuity  in  the  contrivance  of 
figures  moving  by  machinery  to  the  accompaniment  of  music.  A 
bust  of  Napoleon,  by  Canova,  having  come  under  his  notice,  he 
was  excited  by  the  desire  to  become  a  sculptor,  for  which  art  he 
had  had  no  further  training  than  was  supplied  by  instruction  in 
the  taking  of  plaster  casts  from  models,  in  which  he  had  been 
taught  by  a  Prussian  acquaintance.  Assisted  by  Mr.  Longworth, 
he  went  to  Washington,  and  there  found  sufficient  employment  in 
making  busts  to  enable  him  to  lay  up  a  little  money  toward  get¬ 
ting  to  Italy.  Assisted  by  Col.  Preston  and  Mr.  Longworth,  he 
went  to  Italy  in  1837,  and  settled  down  into  what  was  to  prove  a 
life-long  residence.  His  work  consisted  largely  in  the  making  of 
busts,  in  which  field  he  gained  a  wide  popularity  in  Europe  as  well 
as  in  his  native  country.  In  1843  he  produced  the  statue  of  the 
Greek  Slave,  a  work  which  had  an  immense  success,  fixed  his 
reputation  the  world  over,  and  gave  a  great  impetus  to  the  slowly 
growing  culture  of  art  in  this  country.  The  question,  of  slavery 
was  just  then  taking  on  new  importance  in  America,  and  Powers’ 
Greek  Slave  played  no  small  part  in  the  fray.  Mrs.  Browning 
wrote  a  sonnet  to  the  statue,  and  drew  from  it  an  argument  for 
the  doing  away  with  all  slavery. 

“  Appeal,  fair  stone, 

From  God’s  pure  height  of  beauty,  against  man’s  wrong; 

Catch  up  in  thy  divine  face  not  alone 
East  griefs  but  West,  and  strike  and  shame  the  strong, 

By  thunders  of  white  silence  overthrown.” 

Other  works  by  Mr.  Powers  are  the  “Fisher  Boy,”  “America,” 
“California,”  “II  Penseroso,”  “Eve  Tempted,”  “Paradise 
Lost,”  with  statues  of  Calhoun  and  Webster.  During  his  long 
residence  in  Florence,  Mr.  Powers’  house  was  the  center  of  hos-

pitality  to  his  traveling  countrymen,  who  found  in  him  an  Ameri¬ 
can  of  the  old-fashioned  type,  quite  unspoiled  by  foreign  life  and 
manners,  maintaining  a  republican  rusticity  and  homeliness  in  the 
midst  of  influences  which  few  are  found  to  resist.  Nathaniel 
Hawthorne,  in  his  Italian  Journal ,  has  much  to  say  about  Pow¬ 
ers  :  the  chapters  about  Florence  are,  indeed,  largely  taken  up  with 
notes  of  the  conversations  between  him  and  the  sculptor.

Letter  from  Hiram  Powers,  Esq. ,  to  N.  D.  Morgan,  dated  Dec.  7,  1871. 

My  Dear  Sir  :  You  desire  that  I  should  give  you 

something  of  the  history  of  my  work,  which  is  now  on  its  way  to 
you,  in  order  that  you  may  see  it,  as  it  were,  through  the  medium 
of  the  author’s  eyes.  Well,  then,  I  had  already  produced  a  statue 
of  “  Eve  Tempted,”  which  was,  indeed,  my  first  ideal  figure — 
and  the  same  now  in  the  possession  of  Mr.  A.  T.  Stewart,  of  New 
York  ;  but  I  was  not  satisfied  with  my  first  attempt,  as,  indeed, 
the  Temptation  of  Eve  did  not  afford  an  opportunity  for  the 
expression  of  bewilderment,  distress,  and  remorse  which  must 
have  appeared  on  the  face  and  in  the  attitude  of  Eve,  when  she 
replied,  “The  serpent  beguiled  me,  and  I  did  eat.”  It  is  less 
difficult,  in  painting  or  sculpture,  to  give  a  single  than  a  compound 
expression — simple  grief  or  joy  is  much  easier  to  render  than  grief 
with  remorse,  or  joy  with  a  sigh  lingering  within  the  expression  of 
the  features. 

We  see  these  subtilties  in  nature — but  to  render  them  in  art  re-

quires  something  more  than  artistic  science.  The  artist  must  not 
only  see  his  way  (science),  but  he  must  also  feel  his  way.  In 
short,  he  must  work  from  the  heart  as  well  as  from  the  brain,  and 
his  work  then  reflects  back  upon  him,  as  it  were,  the  offspring  of 
his  will  and  understanding.  The  will  has  conceived,  the  under¬ 
standing  has  produced  ;  and  hence  allow  me  to  say,  that  without 
understanding — that  is,  without  learning,  knowledge,  science,  prac¬ 
tice,  experience,  study — no  one,  however  great  may  be  his  genius, 
can  produce  a  genuine  work  of  art.  As  well  might  we  expect  a 
poem  from  one  who  can  neither  read  nor  write. 

I  could  never  satisfy  myself  with  an  ideal  work  in  a  hurry.  The 
human  form  is  infinite.  It  is  the  “  Image  of  God  ;  ”  and  I  have 
found  that,  do  my  best,  there  was  always  a  better  in  nature. 
Once  knowing  this,  I  have  hesitated,  and  sought  to  find  it,  and 
this  is  the  way  to  fame.  One  may  fail,  with  all  his  care  and  labor, 
but  it  is  the  only  way.  Not  they  who  have  produced  the  most, 
but  they  who  have  done  the  best,  stand  foremost  in  the  end.  I 
never  felt  that  I  had  the  power  to  charge  an  hundred  statues- — I 
exhaust  myself  on  a  few.  This  accounts  for  the  fact  that  I  found 
it  necessary  to  give  nearly  one  year’s  time,  in  all,  to  the  model 
alone  of  your  statue  of  Paradise  Lost.  I  continually  found  some¬ 
thing  to  be  improved,  and  am  far  from  presuming  it  to  be  perfect. 
I  aimed  at  nobleness  of  form  and  womanly  dignity  of  expression. 
She  is  forlorn,  but  does  not  quite  despair,  for  she  looks  up  im¬ 
ploringly.  She  accuses  the  serpent  with  one  hand,  and  herself 
most  with  the  other.  The  serpent  retires,  for  Eve  repents — she 
now  resists  evil. 

She  is  not  a  goddess,  but  a  woman,  a  primitive  woman,  the  mother 
of  mankind.  She  has  never  been  in  society,  nor  is  she  educated. 
Such  has  been  my  design,  but  imperfectly  carried  out.  I  trust 
you  will  make  due  allowance.  .  .  . 

I  am,  dear  sir,  faithfully  your  ob’t  serv’t, 

Hiram  Powers.

Born  at  Watertown,  Mass.,  Oct.  3,  1831.  Miss  Hosmer  early  showed

A  remarkably  large  and  fine  copy  of  the  grand  original  edition 
of  the  grandest  work  on  ornithology  ever  published.  Every 
figure  is  of  the  full  natural  size,  beautifully  and  accurately  drawn, 
with  all  the  spirit  of  life.  The  coloring  of  the  plumage  and  the 
exact  drawing  of  the  birds  can  scarcely  be  surpassed  ;  the  birds 
are  represented  in  action  amid  the  scenes,  or  on  the  plants  and 
trees  most  common  to  their  habits,  presenting  a  variety  of  land 
and  marine  views,  and  of  floral  and  other  productions  of  different 
climates  and  seasons.  Its  great  dimensions  have  permitted  eagles 
and  other  birds  of  the  largest  size  to  be  represented  in  their  natural 
size,  and  also  in  groups.  The  letterpress  which  accompanies  the 
work  was  a  separate  publication,  and  is  unusually  scarce.

“  In  Jeremy  Bentham  [says  a  great  critic]  the  world  has  lost  the  great 
teacher  and  patriot  of  his  time  ;  the  man  who  has  exercised  and 
is  exercising  over  the  fortunes  of  mankind  the  widest  and  most 
durable  influence.”  “A  knowledge  of  Bentham’s  works  [says 
another]  is  a  key  which  unlocks  all  the  mysteries  of  social  and 
political  government.”  Sir  James  Mackintosh,  Lord  Jeffrey,

“  Having  mentioned  the  name  of  Herbert,  that  model  of  a  man,  let 
me  add  that  the  quaintness  of  some  of  his  thoughts — -not  of  his 
diction,  than  which  nothing  can  be  more  pure,  manly,  and  unaf¬ 
fected — has  blinded  modern  readers  to  the  great  general  merits  of 
his  poems,  which  are  for  the  most  part  exquisite  in  their  kind.” —

This  very  interesting  publication  is  undoubtedly  the  most  magnificent 
work  that  has  issued  from  the  Parisian  press  ;  and  will  perpetuate 
the  matchless  collection  which  formerly  graced  the  Louvre,  com¬ 
bining,  as  it  did,  nearly  all  the  excellence  of  which  the  various 
countries  on  the  Continent  could  boast  in  painting  and  sculp-

ture.  And  although  a  chain  of  wonderful  events  has  restored 
many  of  the  brightest  gems  of  art  to  their  rightful  owners,  so 
much  of  excellence  still  remains  that  the  gallery  of  the  Louvre  is 
yet,  to  the  man  of  taste,  the  greatest  attraction  in  Paris,  and  the 
very  circumstance  of  the  dispersion  of  so  many  wonderful  pro¬ 
ductions  gives  additional  value  to  the  work  which  describes  them 
in  a  collected  state. 

It  is  necessary  to  observe  that  this  work  is  not  a  mere  collection  of 
prints,  as  it  contains  many  luminous  and  masterly  dissertations 
upon  the  state  of  the  arts  in  different  ages  ;  observations  upon  the 
style,  excellence,  and  defects  of  the  various  schools  in  painting ; 
a  minute  description  of  every  painting,  etc.,  drawn  with  extreme 
care  and  correctness.

“This  magnificent  work,  which  is,  in  truth,  an  Egyptian  Encyclope¬

state  of  Egypt,  in  all  its  relations,  its  civil  history,  arts,  sciences, 
and  geographical  situations.  In  it  are  described,  first,  the  temples, 
palaces,  tombs,  and  all  the  ancient  monuments,  many  of  which 
date  from  a  period  anterior  to  the  Siege  of  Troy,  all  of  which  are 
represented  in  a  series  of  fine  views  ;  the  manuscripts,  the  relics 
of  astronomy,  and  paintings  exhibiting  scenes  of  private  life,  his¬

and  every  important  fact  relative  to  the  present  state  of  Egypt. 
Thirdly,  the  animal,  vegetable,  and  mineral  branches.  Fourthly,

1456  Washington’s  Farewell  Address.  Unique  illustrated  copy, 

having  125  portraits  of  Washington  inserted,  and  an  Orig¬ 
inal  Letter  signed  by  G.  Washington,  dated  “  Head¬ 
quarters,  June  2,  1783.”  Collected  and  arranged  by  T.  H. 
Morell.  4to,  crushed  levant  morocco  extra,  gilt  edges. 

New  York,  1850 

Privately  printed  by  James  Lenox,  Esq.,  from  the  Original  Manu- 
scrip  in  his  possession.  The  inserted  portraits  are  generally  of 
the  greatest  rarity,  so  much  so  that  ten  times  the  presumptive 
value  of  this  volume  would  fail  to  produce  its  equal.  Many  of 
the  impressions  are  practically  unique,  some  are  from  private 
plates,  a  large  number  are  in  proof  state,  while  the  crudity  of  the 
earlier  portraits  engraved  in  this  continent  simply  increase  the 
interest,  if  they  do  not  add  to  the  artistic  merit,  of  the  collection.

“A  very  accurate  and  valuable  book.  To  give  their  fullest  value  to 
the  engravings  of  the  works  of  art  which  largely  enrich  the  vol¬ 
umes,  the  biography  has  been  made  by  its  publishers  a  choice 
specimen  of  their  own  art  as  book-makers.  Neither  care  nor  cost 
have  been  grudged.  It  is  one  of  the  handsomest  books  ever  pub¬ 
lished.” — Examiner.
